he Stonewall at Ferrol. The first advice of the Stonewall from Ferrol was without date, but she arrived there about February 2d, and Page soon began to lighten the ship by discharging some of her heavy weight into a good dry hulk, which the naval authorities had kindly put at her disposal, with the purpose of finding the leak. It appears, however, from his correspondence, that the facilities granted him upon his first application were quickly withdrawn. Writing to me, under date of February 7th, he says: To-day there came off an officer to inform me that in consequence of the protest of the American minister the permission to repair damages had been suspended, and added, however, that the commander told him that his case was under consideration at Madrid, and that he thought that all would be right in a few days. In the end permission was given to make all necessary repairs, but many difficulties were met with, the authorities appearing to be very desirous to hurry the ship off

The commissioners from North Carolina are here and the commission from the city of New York. We will have a full representation to-morrow. The universal feeling seems to make Howell President of the convention. As to Provisional President of the Confederacy the strongest current is for Jefferson Davis. February 7.—The chances are decidedly against war. There may be a little collision and much confusion, but no bloody or extensive war. The action of Virginia decides the question. Peace is certain on her secession. February 9.—We are now in the presence of a large crowd, electing a President and Vice-President. * * * Jefferson Davis is elected President and A. H. Stephens Vice-President. The latter is a bitter pill to some of us, but we have swallowed it with as good a grace as we could. The

Although but brief mention is made of these sixteen or seventeen battles around Petersburg, they were regular pitched battles, in which large numbers of troops were engaged, and where some as hard and desperate fighting was done as occurred on any field during the war. It was the series of battles which occurred when Grant was trying to get possession of the Southside Railroad. Wherever a battery or section of artillery was needed, at morn,

M., the Confederate infantry and cavalry gradually falling back before him. General Lee made a dash at some wagons near Decatur. The enemy was found moving with every precaution, their trains perfectly and judiciously arranged with each brigade, no foraging parties out, and their large infantry force ready to punish any ill-advised attempt on their column. Colonel R. C. Wood's Mississippi Regiment disabled about twenty wagons, but could not bring them off, as the infantry advanced on him from the front and the rear of the column. This was found to be the case wherever an attempt was made by the cavalry to impede the march. On the 13th General Polk

d in strong works near Dabney's Mills. The first attempt to dislodge them was unsuccessful, but a second charge took the works, which, however, were abandoned for want of support; the troops recrossed the river and bivouacked for the night. February 7. The line of battle was formed at 8 A. M. Our Regiment was deployed as skirmishers in front of the Brigade. They advanced and drove the enemy's skirmishers from three lines of rifle pits back into their works, which were near. At 5 o'clock in our line was ordered to advance upon them, but as the assault was not successful, the line fell back to its original position, where it remained, exposed to a galling fire till late at night, when it was relieved. At Hatcher's Run February 6 and 7 E. B. Hadley was killed and Ambrose W. Coles lost an arm. J. W. Oliver was captured for the second time. February 8. In bivouac all day. February 9.

for this attack, the necessity of guarding the islands already occupied, the reconnaissances and conquests of new positions by the navy, gave occasion to affairs, generally bloodless, which we shall merely enumerate here in their chronological order. The islands of Edisto had become the refuge of all the negroes of the neighborhood, who ran away from the main-land plantations, which had been abandoned by the whites. The latter returned from time to time to hunt them out, and on the 7th of February they exchanged a few musket-shots with the Federal gun-boat Crusader. Owing to their possession of all the islands of South Carolina, the Federals maintained a strict blockade of the coast of that State. Although it became every day more difficult to run this blockade, still a considerable traffic was carried on in provisions— destined not only for the Confederate armies, but also for the inhabitants of Savannah and Charleston—through the numerous inland canals which separate these

of new expeditions, but we have in the first two months of the year only two insignificant engagements to mention—one on the 13th of January at Mayfield, Kentucky, south of Paducah, and another at Sparta, near McMinnville, Tennessee, on the 7th of February. On the side of the Confederate cavalry they are preparing to resume the offensive on the first opportunity. General Roddey, whose brigade has been reinforced to almost the strength of a division, gathers boats below Florence and sends detpposite the city of Natchez. This post was occupied by one regiment, the Thirtieth Missouri, and two negro battalions, with a few pieces of artillery. After a march of thirty-eight miles the Confederates appeared in front of Vidalia on the 7th of February. The Federals, warned of this movement, were on their guard. They were waiting for the attack behind a ditch dividing a large opening in the woods through which the enemy must come; several gunboats moored in the river could with their gun
